Don't be a richard.
I never got society. If someone makes a snarky response to a stupid question or statement I say, no one cares, almost as if I deserve it. If I do the same, however, at least one person has to complain about how terrible of a person I am. I know asking this makes me sound even more richardish, but is there like some sort of rule that I'm completely unaware of that explains this, or am I just missing some sort of subtlety that makes it OK to be a jerk?
